This award supports student attendance at the 59th IEEE Annual Symposium on the Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS) in Paris, France from October 7 through October 9, 2018, as well as to support attendance by some qualified postdoctoral fellows who do not have other sources of travel funding. FOCS and its sister conference, the ACM STOC meeting, are the premier broad-based conferences on the Theory of Computing. FOCS has a record of strongly encouraging participation by students, for whom the conference serves as a valuable educational experience, both for the technical content of the talks and for the opportunities for networking that it provides. In recent years, the annual FOCS conference has been attended by eighty to one hundred students who have comprised more than a third of all attendees. This award will provide partial support to about 20 students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持学生参加 2018 年 10 月 7 日至 9 日在法国巴黎举行的第 59 届 IEEE 计算机科学基础年度研讨会 (FOCS)，并支持一些没有其他来源的合格博士后研究员参加旅行资金。 FOCS 及其姊妹会议 ACM STOC 会议是计算理论领域首要的基础广泛的会议。 FOCS 有着强烈鼓励学生参与的记录，对于他们来说，会议是一次宝贵的教育经历，无论是演讲的技术内容还是会议提供的交流机会。近年来，每年一度的FOCS会议都有八十到一百名学生参加，占到会人数的三分之一以上。该奖项将为大约 20 名学生提供部分支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
